Prepared for Revival
I. It is a Public Call “in Unity” {Unified One together}
If My People 2 Cor. 5:13
Acts 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
II. It is a Personal Call of Responsible
Called by my name
There Is A Condition to Revival
14 If my people, which are called by my name,
III. It is a Passionate call of Humility
Shall humble themselves,
Ps 66:18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Prov 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy
IV It Is a Prayerful Call to God
A. The Depends on God And pray,
B. The Devotion to God And seek my face
Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
C. The Departure from sin And turn from their wicked ways
Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
V It Is a Powerful Call from God
There Is A Reaction from God
Then will
I hear from heaven?
I will forgive their sin,
I will heal their land.
